Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the cooker

~

hood for visible signs of damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use a damaged appliance. It could be
dangerous.

Before connecting the appliance to

~

the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on
the data plate correspond with the
on-site electricity supply, otherwise the
appliance could be damaged. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

The electrical safety of this

~

appliance can only be guaranteed if it
is correctly earthed. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly, and
where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Installation, maintenance and

~

repairs may only be carried out by a

Miele authorised person in accordance

with current national and local safety

regulations.

Repairs and other work by unqualified

persons could be dangerous. The

manufacturer cannot be held liable for

unauthorised work.

Faulty components must only be

~

replaced by genuine Miele original

parts. The manufacturer can only

guarantee the safety of the appliance

when Miele replacement parts are

used.

During installation, maintenance and

~

repair work, the appliance must be

disconnected from the mains electricity

supply.

For safety reasons, this appliance

~

may only be used when it has been
fully installed.

Only open the housing as described

~

in the instructions given in the
installation sheet and in the Cleaning
and care section of this booklet. Under
no circumstances should any other
parts of the housing be opened.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user, and can
cause operational faults.

5

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not connect the appliance to the

~

mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).

For appliances with an external fan

~

motor fitted (...EXT models) the
connection of the two units must be
made using the connection cable and
the plug connectors.
These models may only be combined
with a Miele external motor.

This appliance must not be used in

~

a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).

In areas which may be subject to

~

infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which may be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the guarantee.

Using at the same time as other

heating appliances that depend on

the air from the room

Warning - danger of toxic fumes

Great care should be taken when

~

using the cooker hood at the same time

and in the same room or area of the

house as another heating appliance

which depends on the air in the room.

Such appliances include gas, oil, wood

or coal-fired boilers and heaters,

continuous flow or other water heaters,

gas hobs, cookers or ovens which draw

air in from the room and duct exhaust

gases out through a chimney or

extraction ducting.

When used in extraction mode, with or

without an external motor fitted, the

appliance draws air in from the room in

which it is installed and from

neighbouring rooms.

If there is insufficient air, an

underpressure will occur. The heating

appliance may be starved of oxygen,

impairing combustion.

Harmful gases could be drawn out of

the chimney or extraction ducting back

into the room, with potentially fatal

consequences.

6

Warning and Safety instructions

In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent gases given off by the
heating appliances from being drawn
back into the room when the cooker
hood and the heater are in operation
simultaneously, an underpressure of

0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum
permissible in the room.

Ventilation can be maintained by air
inlets which must not be blocked, in
windows, doors and outside wall vents,
or by other technical measures, such
as ensuring that the cooker hood can
only be switched on when the heating
appliance is switched off or vice versa.
A ventilation brick alone is not generally
sufficient to ensure safe ventilation.

,

The overall ventilation condition
of the dwelling must be taken into
account. If in any doubt, the advice
of a competent builder or, for gas, a
qualified gas fitter (GasSafe
registered in the UK) must be
sought.

If the hood is being operated in
recirculation mode, the above
restrictions do not apply.

7

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Never use an open flame beneath

~

the cooker hood. To avoid the danger
of fire, do not flambé or grill over an
open flame.
When switched on, the cooker hood
could draw flames into the filter. Fat
particles drawn into the cooker hood
present a fire hazard.

When using the cooker hood over a

~

gas hob, ensure that any burners in use
are always covered by a pan. Switch
the cooking zone off when a pan is
removed, even for a short time.
Regulate the flame so that it does not
burn up the sides of the pan.
Do not allow the pans to overheat
excessively (e.g. when using a wok).
The cooker hood can become
damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.

Always switch the cooker hood on

~

when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in
the hood, which could cause corrosion.

When cooking with oil or fat, chip

~

pans and deep fat fryers etc, do not
leave the pans unattended. Never leave
an open grill unattended when grilling.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.

Do not use the cooker hood without

~

the filters in place. This way you will
avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting
into the appliance and hindering its
smooth operation.

The cooker hood can get very hot

~

during cooking due to heat rising from
the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease
filters until the cooker hood has cooled
down.

Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean

~

this appliance. Steam could reach
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooker or hob

~

manufacturer's instructions as to
whether a cooker hood may be
operated above the cooker/hob.

The minimum safety distances

~

between the top of the cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood
given in the "Appliance dimensions"
section of this booklet must be
maintained, unless the hob
manufacturer states that a greater
safety distance is required.

If more than one cooking appliance is
fitted beneath the cooker hood, and
they have different minimum safety
distances to the cooker hood, select
the greater distance.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting

~

of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves.

The filters should be regularly

~

cleaned or changed as appropriate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See
"Cleaning and care".

8

Warning and Safety instructions

All ducting, pipework and fittings

~

must be of non-flammable material.
These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts department or from
builders' merchants.

The appliance must not be

~

connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into

~

a chimney or ventilation duct no longer
used for other purposes, seek
professional advice.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

~

and accessories with this appliance. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.

The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Description of the functions10Description of the appliance

The cooker hood works with

. . . air extraction:

The air is drawn in, cleaned by the
grease filter and then directed outside.

If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, then the
non-return flap supplied with the
appliance must be fitted in the exhaust
socket in the motor unit.

Having a non-return flap fitted in the
ducting ensures that air, once ducted
to the outside, cannot get back into the
room again.

The flap is closed when the cooker
hood is switched off.

When the cooker hood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be blown directly
outside.

. . . air recirculation:

(air recirculation conversion kit
required)

The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filter and then by a charcoal
filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.

Charcoal filters are available to order
through your Dealer or the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com. (See back cover
for contact details and "Technical Data"
for model number).

Before using the cooker hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
charcoal filter is in place; see
"Cleaning and care".

...anexternal motor:

(EXT models only)

The EXT models are designed to be
connected to an external motor located
outside the room.

The external motor is connected to the
cooker hood by means of a control
cable, and is operated by the controls
on the cooker hood.

disconnect the cooker hood from the
mains supply.

Exercise caution when changing

,

halogen lamps. They get very hot
during use and remain hot for some
time after being switched off. The
hot lamps are also susceptible to
damage from damp cleaning. Wait a
few minutes after switching off
before commencing cleaning.

Housing

General

The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasion. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions.

^

All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or
with warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a well
wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.

Cleaning and care

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

acids, chlorides or solvents,

abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

–

powder cleaners or cream cleaners
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot
scourers or sponges which have
been used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents. These will damage
the surface material.

Important for appliances with
stainless steel housing

(This infomation does not apply to the
controls).

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using the Miele E-Cloth or with a
suitable, non-abrasive, proprietary
cleaning agent for stainless steel,
following the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.

To help prevent re-soiling, Miele
conditioning agent for stainless steel
can also be used. Follow the
instructions on the packaging.

^

Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.

Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.

15

Cleaning and care

Controls

The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long. Remove
soiling straight away.

Observe the General notes on cleaning
earlier in this section.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agent on the controls.

Grease filter

The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance removes solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc)
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.

To avoid a build-up of fat, it should be
cleaned every 3-4 weeks on average,
but sooner if necessary.

When removing the grease filter do
not tilt it downwards at an angle.

Push the deflector plate in.

^

,

An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.

16

^

Then grip the front of the deflector
plate and hold the grease filter
securely. Whilst holding the grease
filter pull the deflector plate out as
illustrated above.

^

Then lower the filter downwards and
off.

To avoid damaging the filter or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filter securely at all times when
handling it.

^

Switch off the fan.

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the grease filter by hand

Clean the filter with a soft nylon brush

^

in a mild solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing-up liquid.

Do not use:

cleaning agents containing

–

descaling agents,

powder cleaners, cream cleaners or

–

abrasive all-purpose cleaners.

oven sprays.

–

Cleaning the grease filter in the
dishwasher

^ Place the filter as upright as possible

in the lower basket, with the short
sides upright. Make sure that the
spray arm can move freely.

^ Select a programme with a maximum

temperature of 65° C. If a Miele
dishwasher is being used, select the
Sensor wash programme.

^

Use a mild dishwasher detergent.

Depending on dishwasher detergent
used, cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.

After cleaning, leave the filter to dry

^

for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting it back in place.

When removing the filter for cleaning,

^

also clean off any residues of oil or
fat from the now accessible housing
to prevent the risk of these catching
fire.

^ When putting it back, make sure that

the red plastic guides are at the
front and facing upwards.

^

Fit the grease filter in the front of the
deflector plate, press it upwards and
push it in together with the deflector
plate. It will slide onto the fixing pins
at the back. Finally, push the grease
filter back a little more.

17

Cleaning and care

Fitting and replacing the
charcoal filters

If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation, a charcoal filter (optional
accessory) must be inserted in addition
to the grease filter.
This is designed to absorb cooking
smells.

It is fitted in the canopy above the
grease filter.

Replacement charcoal filters can be
obtained from your dealer, Miele or via
the internet at www.miele-shop.com.
See back cover for contact details,
and "Technical data" for type and

of with the normal household waste.

18

Changing a halogen lamp

Pull out the deflector plate, and

^

remove the grease filter as described
earlier.

Switch off the fan and the lighting.

^

Exercise caution when changing

,

halogen lamps. They get very hot
during use, and remain hot for some
time after being switched off. Do not
touch the surface directly when
changing a lamp, as grease
particles from your fingers will
adhere to the surface and damage
it. Please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Cleaning and care

^ Remove the charcoal filter if the

cooker hood is being used in
recirculation mode.

Before any cleaning or maintenance
work, disconnect the cooker hood
from the mains supply.

To position the appliance correctly,
cut the spacer strip to required depth
T, and then attach it to the back of
the appliance.

T= Depth of carcase K minus depth of

appliance G

Example a shows the installation

^

without a front panel fitted and with
the front edge of the deflector plate
flush with the front edge of the
furniture housing unit. This installation
needs a shelf 95 mm deep.

^ Example b shows the installation

with a front panel to match the

requires dimension b for the front
panel plus 5 mm for the DML 400
fixing kit to be added to the shelf
dimension (95 mm+5mm+
dimension b).

Screw the spacer strip underneath

^

the housing unit sides, flush with the
rear wall.

^ Draw a vertical line up both inside

walls of the housing from the front of
the spacer strip.

The remaining installation gap must be
at least 180 mm in depth.

If it is less than 180 mm, position the
appliance further back, and reduce
measurement T accordingly.

The position of the deflector plate can
be adjusted in depth by a maximum of
35 mm at the front.

an optional accessory, is required for
this (available as a special accessory).
Follow the installation instructions
supplied.

Weight of a lightshield matching
existing furniture

The lightshield must not exceed 1300 g
in weight.
This applies to lightshields with a depth
of up to 30 mm.
For larger or heavier lightshields, the
weight must be reduced by e.g.
machining it away at the back.

^

Secure the spacer strip to the back of
the appliance from behind using
4 plastic rivets as shown.

29

Installation

Aligning the deflector plate

^ The position of the deflector plate

can be brought forward by up to
35 mm using the adjusting screws on
either side of the deflector plate.
Align the deflector plate to the front of
the kitchen furniture units on either
side.

Fitting the grease filter

Remove the protective strip around

^

the edge of the grease filter.

Fit the grease filter.

To do this, pull the deflector plate

^

out.

30

^

Turn the grease filter so that the red
plastic guides are at the front and

facing upwards.

^

Fit the grease filter in the front of the
deflector plate, press it upwards and
push it in together with the deflector
plate. It will slide onto the fixing pins
at the back. Finally, push the grease
filter back a little more.

Vent ducting

If the on-site ventilation system does

^

not have a non-return flap, then the
non-return flap supplied with the
appliance must be fitted in the
exhaust socket in the motor unit.

Installation

^ When using C 150 mm ducting,

secure the exhaust connection
supplied to exhaust ducting with
hose clips.

^ If using C 125 mm ducting, fit the

reducing collar into the exhaust
connection, and secure the exhaust
ducting to the reducing collar with a
hose clip. (See "Connection for air
extraction").

^

Place the exhaust ducting on the fan
connection for the cooker hood.

^

See "Connection for air extraction" for
further instructions on fitting the
ducting.

31

Installation

Setting up for recirculation
mode

If site conditions are not suitable for the
cooker hood to be used with air
extraction, the appliance must be set
up for recirculation.

Make sure that the slats in the

^

exhaust grille point towards the
centre of the room and not towards a
wall or the ceiling.

A non-return flap is not used in
recirculation mode.

Fit the charcoal filter (see “Cleaning

^

and care”).

Electrical connection

Refer to the notes in “Electrical
connection” and “Warning and
Safety instructions” before
connecting to the electricity supply.

^ For appliances connected to an

external motor (EXT models):
Connect the cooker hood to the
external motor using the connecting
cable and the 6-pole plug connector.

^ Separate fitting instructions are

supplied with the external motor.

For this, conversion kit DUU 151
(available from your Miele dealer or the
Miele Spare Parts Dept.) is required.

You will also need a charcoal filter (see
“Technical data”).

^

Fit the conversion kit as described in
the installation instructions supplied
with the kit.

32

Important: To avoid the danger of
toxic fumes, please observe the
Warning and Safety instructions.
This is especially crucial when using
the cooker hood at the same time as
another heating appliance which
relies on air from the same room.
The cooker hood should be installed
according to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.

Connection for air extraction

Only use smooth pipes or flexible

–

hoses made from non-flammable
materials for the extraction ducting.

When using an external motor, make

–

sure that the exhaust ducting is
sufficiently rigid. The external motor
can cause an underpressure which
can result in the exhaust ducting
distorting.

To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise level,
please note the following:

To ensure efficient air extraction, the

–

diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.

– If flat ducting is being used, the

cross-section must not be smaller
than the cross-section of the exhaust
connection.

– All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable materials.

– The exhaust ducting should be as

short and straight as possible.

–

Only use wide radius bends.

–

The exhaust ducting should not be
kinked or compressed.

–

Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.

–

Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the cooker hood.

33

Connection for air extraction

If the exhaust air is to be ducted into

–

the open air, the installation of a
telescopic wall vent or roof vent
(available as an optional accessory)
is recommended.

If the exhaust air is to be ducted into

–

a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.

Important:

If the exhaust ducting is to run through
rooms, ceiling space etc. where there
may be great variations in temperature
between the different areas, the
problem of condensation will need to
be addressed. The exhaust ducting will
need to be suitably insulated.

Condensate trap

(optional accessory)

In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is also installed to
collect and evaporate any condensate
which may occur. Condensate traps
are available for C 125 mm or
C 150 mm ducting.

When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust connection. The arrow on the
housing indicates the direction of
air-flow.

34

Cooker hoods designed for use with an
external motor (...EXT models) have an
integrated condensate trap.

Connection for air extraction

Silencer

(optional accessory)

To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, a special silencer can be
fitted in the ducting system.

...with air extraction:

The silencer not only reduces noise
from the fan, but also sounds from
outside (e.g. traffic noise).
For this reason the silencer must be
positioned as close as possible to the
ducting exit a.

...in recirculation mode:

The silencer needs to be positioned
between the fan and the exhaust grille
b. The space needs to be checked in
some cases.

...air extraction with external motor:

To minimise noise from the motor in the
kitchen, the silencer should be
positioned in front of the external motor
c if possible, or if the ducting is long,
then in the ducting inside the cooker
hood itself d.

In the case of an external motor placed
inside the house, fitting a silencer
behind the external motor e reduces
the noise of the motor outside the
house.

In all modes of operation, the most
effective noise reductions are
achieved if two silencers are fitted
one behind the other in the system.

35

Electrical connection

All electrical work should be
undertaken by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with current national
and local safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).

Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous, for which the
manufacturer cannot be held liable.

Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance until after installation or
repair work has been carried out.

Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance.

The connection data is given on the
data plate. This is visible when the

grease filters have been removed.
Ensure that this data matches the
household mains supply.

If the switch is not accessible after
installation (depending on country), an
additional means of disconnection must
be provided for all poles.

For extra safety it is advisable to protect
the appliance with a suitable residual
current device (RCD). Contact a
qualified electrician for advice.

Important

This appliance is supplied for
connection to an a.c. 230 V single
phase 50 Hz supply.

The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:

Green/yellow = earth
Blue = neutral
Brown = live

WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED

Connection of this appliance should be
made via a suitable isolator or a double
pole fused spur connection unit which
complies with national and local safety
regulations and the On-Off switch
should be easily accessible after the
appliance has been built in.
When switched off there must be an
all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the
switch (including switch, fuses and
relays according to EN 60335).

36

Operation with Control module DSM 400

The Miele DSM 400 control module can
be used to combine the cooker hood
with other components.

It enables the following:

Potential free connection

This can be used to operate a further
appliance via the On/Off button s of
the cooker hood.

Components used in the central
ducting system are not supplied by
Miele.

If in any doubt, the advice of a
competent builder or, for gas, a Gas
Safe installer must be sought.

Connection to a light switch

The control module can be used to
switch on the cooker hood lighting via a
push button light switch in the house.

Installation

The potential free contact on the
DSM 400 a can, for example, be used
in a cooker hood with an external motor
...EXT, which is connected to a central
ducting system.
The contact can then be used to
operate an electrically driven non-return
flap b which is connected to the
central extraction unit c.

The control module must be installed
above the cooker hood housing.

The electrical connection of
components to the control module
must be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person.
